Leonardo.Ai
About
Leonardo.Ai is an AI image and video generation platform founded in Sydney, Australia, in 2022. It gained a large following among game artists, designers and marketers, and was acquired by Canva in 2024.
Users create images and short videos from text prompts, choose from many fine-tuned models and styles, keep characters consistent across images and edit results with a built-in canvas. Its web dashboard is often preferred by people who want detailed control without using Discord.
As of October 2026, Leonardo has a Free plan with 150 tokens a day, Apprentice at $12 a month, Artisan at $30 a month and Maestro at $60 a month, with roughly 20% off for annual billing. Paid plans add private generations and commercial-use rights.
